Forcing Racial Equality Down Our throats

I ONCE ASKED MY MOTHER whether she voted for Roosevelt. "No, and hell no" were her two answers, as I recall. And neither, by god, did anyone else in our family, including my grandparents. Definitely, a family of hard core republicans, dairy farmers without the slightest interest in or use for New Deal government socialistic intervention. The first time my mom was eligible to vote against FDR was 1944, and by then people knew whether they liked him. My uncle, a ninety two year old lifelong conservative and racist, has owned many businesses, may not be finished owning them yet, and does not like labor unions. His racism he has learned to largely conceal over the years, as it has become less fashionable, but its there, lurking. The fact that he tries to hide it from me and my sister I find enormously humorous, and charming in its own way. Can't he see how transparent he is? On the phone recently, he remarked that the white population is rapidly becoming a minority in America. I decided to trap him. I said, yes, but so what? Who cares what skin color people have anymore? Race no longer matters, people no longer care about race, right, dear uncle? He replied "I sure don't". I had to roll my eyes with my phone clinging to my left ear. Fifty years ago dear old uncle wasn't a bit shy about showing his racism. Not very many people were. And they all had one thing in common, other than racism: conservatism. Racists were conservatives then, and they are conservatives now, the only difference being that they have become adept at concealing their racism. Racism is, and always has been, a traditional, conservative American value. You don't actually believe that the Ku Klux Klan is a Bunch of liberals, do you? What about this "alt right" monstrosity? Liberal, or conservative? During the nineteen sixties, during the civil rights struggle, it was the conservatives, both democrat and republican, who resisted change, resisted using the government as a tool to end racism and racial discrimination. The only problem with not using the government to end racism and letting society evolve naturally, is that it never happens, society doesn't evolve naturally, certainly not enough to end racism and racial injustice naturally, on its own, without having the government force it down our throats. In America, the government must force racial equality down our throats, or we will never have it. If you don't understand that, you're delusional. Either that, or very conservative.
